What part of physics is it that states this and how do you explain that 'room temperature' just happens to be the range that is related to us and our environment and not to anything particular in physics? Or is it that you suspect that there is an exclusive or relationship between the conditions that allow complex biological life to never have overlap with those that allow superconductivity?

I don't think they are talking about physics, but rather the law of "nothing ever happens".
There are a lot of existence proofs that something invariably does happen, just not always the thing that you were hoping for. And even those tend to work out in the long run. Remember the quest for the Laser.
